My invention relates to improvements in toilet cabinets and the likewherein a cabinet box having compartmentsis provided with a compartmenthaving members -mounted therein to engage andhold neckties or the likeextended in zig-zag fashion within a relatively small area, and toreceive articles of apparel of a related nature.

The primary object of my invention is to provide. an improved toiletcabinet.

Another object is to provide an improved cabinet having a compartmentprovided with means to engage and hold neckties in extended form withina relatively small area, and in a conveniently accessible position.

A further object is to provide an improved cabinet compartment havingtie supporting and engaging membersto prevent crushing or creasing ofneckties, and having means to receive and hold collars or other articlesof a related use. I

A still further object is to provide an improved article of thecharacter described which embodies improved features of structure andarrangement and which aifords increased efiiciency and utility. H

I accomplish these and other objects by means of the improved devicedisclosed in the drawings forming a part of the present applicationwherein like charactersof reference are used to designate similar partsthroughout the. specification and drawings, and in which Fig. 1 is afront elevation of my improved cabinet, the door being removed; and 1Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken upon the line 22 of Fig. 1 in thedirection indicated.

Referring to the drawings, my invention comprises a back 1, sidemembersQ and top and bottom members 3 and 4 respectively defining acabinet. A door 5 is hingedly connected to the cabinet to normally closethe front of the cabinet, and'preferably a mirror 6 is mountedabove thetop member 3 of the cabinet.

cabinet to divide the space within the cabinet into a plurality ofcompartments designated 9, 10, and 11, of various size and shapetoreceive toilet articles, orthe like, of any desired nature.

' One ofsthe compartments, as 9,is provided with, a pair of necktiesupporting members 12 mounted therein within the upper corners ofthecompartment. Thelmembers 12 may 'be'of any suitable; construction,cylindrical pins of substantial diameter and provided with slightlyenlarged heads 13 being illustrated as :the preferred construction. The

members 12'are spaced slightly from thesides and top ofthe compartmentso that a plurality .of;neckties 14c, or othersimilararticles, may-be.supportedover said members with the end portions of the ties dependingalong the sides of the compartment. r

A member 15 ismou-nted within the lower central portion of thecompartment 9. under which member the middle portions .of the ties 14:may be extended to hold the ties in zigza-g fashion within thecompartment. The member l5 prefera'bl-y consistsof a hollow pocketforming member of triangular form mounted with its apex downwardlydisposed and the hollow member 15 is open to provide .ac-

cess to a pocket 16 adapted to receive collars the contents of thecabinet. Neckties .14 are einserted into the compartment by extendingthe middle portions of the ties under the apex of the member'15 andextending the ends of the ties over the pins-sothat the ends of the tieswill be suspended along the sides of the compartment and the middleportions of the ties will extend in zig-zag fashion between the pins,thereby accommodating the full -.=length of the ties withina'compartment having relatively small dimensions. The ties" arethus heldin extended positions-with the Partitions 7 and 8 are mounted within theend portions freely suspended along the sides .ofrthe compartment,thereby occupying but littlespace and guarding the ties against slightlyspaced above the bottom Of'thB comapartment, and having its sidesdiverging upwardly toward the. members 12. The top of crushing orcreasingr At thesame tiine theiilqq ing of a number of ties in proximaterelation over the members 12 and 15. r g

The pocket 16 formed by the member 15, affords a convenient receptaclefor collars or other apparel. The relatively wide open top of" thepocket afit'ords ready access to the pocket and permits collars 17 to beeasily inserted or removed as desired, and at the same time affords anefficient means for preserving collars in a clean and uncrushedcondition until required. I V 3 By incorporating the compartment 9,*withits tie engaging members 12 and pocket forming member 15, within acabinet having compartments adapted to receive various toilet articlesor the like, a simple and compact cabinet is obtained whereby ties,collars, and the like may be stored safely and eflicienttie supportingmembers mounted within the upper corners of the compartment to receiveand support tie extended thereover with the ends depending adjacent tothe sides of the compartment; and a hollow triangular member mountedwithin the lower portion of the compartment with its apex downwardlydisposed and spaced slightly above the bottom of the compartment and thesides of said member diverging upwardly toward the tie supportingmembers" to engage the middle portions'of ties extended in zig-zagmanner over said supporting members and under the triangularmember andthereby hold said ties extended within a compartment of relatively smallarea,rsaid hollow member forming a pocket within the compartment open atthe top thereof to receive articles of apparel.
